FRIDAY, OCTOBER. 25, 1946 Federal Housing Pregran

This year's housing program for war vet- erans in Charlottetown seems to have been dead- locked hopelessly, with a complete lack of co- ordination between the local authorities and Reconstruction Minister Howe's department at Ottawa. Mr. Howe seems to be a difficult man to get along with. The point, however, is that he is in authority and that without his say-so we can get nowhere. This applies to the I947 housing program which has been announced from Ottawa, and which is reviewed in the cur- rent issue of the Labor Gazette. It should be studied carefully by all concerned locally.

A feature of the I947 plan has been the setting up of the Central Mortgage and Hous- ing Corporation to administer the National Housing Act and make laans for home build- ing. The Corporation will be in touch with provincial governments to secure their co-opera- tion, as well as advice and assistance, in review- ing the needs of municipaikles. The Dominion Government also within the next three months will confer with some I20 municipalities an ways and means of assisting them in their housing problems.

The I947 plan is the first part of the five year program of 480,000 housing units. Steps will be taken to determine maximum distribu- tion of the first target—B0,000 units-between metropolitan areas, other urban centres, and rural housing. An appropriate division between houses built under Government approval plans and houses built by private enterprise will also be determined.

At the moment the 80,000-units plan calls for a tentative division of 60,000 units for urban areas and 20,000 units for rural areas. Of this program, perhaps 30,000 llnits would be of the Government-approved type of projects such as Wartime Housing, Integrated Housing, Hous- ing Enterprises, Emergency Shelter, prefabrica- tion, small holdings under the Veterans’ Land Act, and possible insurance company invest- ments under Sec. II of the National Housing Act. Within this number of Government-ap- proved projects, Integrated Housing would ex- tend to perhaps I0,000 units, which are con- structed by private builders with priorities being made available.

_ Mr. Howe expresses confidence that this objective can be met "with the constructive help of all interested in housing needs." Let us hope that every effort will be made to work in co-operation with his department in this Province, so that there will be no excuse for a repetition of what has taken place this year in a matter of so much urgency and importance.

Gift Parcels For Britain

The President of the United Kingdom Board of Trade made the following announcement in answer to a Parliamentary question:

"l have considered, in consultation with my Right Honourable Friend, the Minister of Food, the circumstances in which gift parcels may be received by people in this country with- out the need for an important licence. In agreement with him I have now decided to dis- pense altogether with the limit on the number of gift parcels that may be sent to individuals and to increase the limit on the maximum weight of suc-h gift parcels whether sent by post or otherwise to 22 lbs. This does not of course affect the lower weight limits imposed b_y certain countries an the despatch of, parcels yrithin tliis maximum. No further weight restriction will be imposed on the amount of gift foodstuffs or other goods that parcels may contain. These concessions only apply to parcels which are bond fide unsolicited gifts and not imported as mer- chandise or for sale and on condition that they

to parcels containing arms and ammunition, plumage, dangerous drugs or other articles the import of which was before the war subject to special legislative prohibition or restriction. Parcels which do not comply with these condi- tions are liable to seizure by the customs un- lass covered by an import licence."

‘little or Illness’

The above heading ls aptly employed by the Ottawa Journal to describe the hectic ex- ohnge of epistles between Premier George Drew and Prime Minister King; their charges and counter-charges, denials and counter-de- nials, over who killed the Dominion-Provincial "Conference, are about as useful, it says, as the controversy aver who killed Cock Robin. The only thing worth considering now is whether it wouldn't be a good thing to have the Confer- ence resumed; and this inlipot bottle between Meson. King and Drew suggests that it should be resumed. The last-thing the public wants is a return by Mr. King and Mr. Draw ta the brawl of the 1930's between Mr. King and Mr. Hepburn. Y

Mr. Klii and Mr. Hepburn, in their hatchet battle, sattl nothing. Mr. King and Mr. Draw, returning to hatchets, can't possibly set- tle anything, maintains aur Ottawa contempor- ary. Settlement will come only by return to coin- aian sense; by all parties to the dispute get- ting thor on Canadians to iron out differ- ences rough discussion and compromise. The Journal concludes: __

‘Mr. King has told us often how much he

will around a, table to resolve their differences.

i}

he believes, as he assured us only a few weeks ago, that all the wrong is never an one~ side, he can hardly foil to do so. .

"Further, this constant wrangling betwean the Provinces and the Dominion is a poor testi- monial for Mr.’ King's fame as a coiiciliator.

when he took office peace‘ would come with the provinces, that we would be -'one'hoppy fam- ily.' This unseemly quarrelling with Messrs. Drew and Duplessis, hard on the heels of the long vendetta with Mr. Hepburn, makes the promise look bad. '

"Scuffling between the Dominion and Prav- inces is, in any event, nonsense. Some" of us profess to be' shocked over the disagreements between Messrs. Bevin and Molotov. If we can't settle the insignificant differences between our own governing bodies, we have no right to be shocked at anything. Mr. King and Mr. Drew should chuck their inkpots and get down to bus- iness."

After today there will be a let up on public functions, but Sunday sees a resumption with the beginning of the celebration of the Canadian Missionary Centenary. Meanwhile we have the Parliamentary Indian delegation in our midst in- quiring into the way we handle the descendants of the original inhabitants of our land. ‘With Mr. Justice A-senault as guide, philosopher and adviser, the delegation is in good hands.

Lord Rawallan, Chief Scout, before leaving for Nova Scatia yesterday, an, route to New- faundland, expressed his appreciation of his reception hero. Inter alia he wrote: "The Press has born good to me all the way across your great Dominion, but seldom if ever, have our activities been so excellently and fully re- ported as in The Guardian Of The Gulf." I i ¥ I! "lt's so wonderful I can hardly believe the news," said Mr. Joseph Campbell, 314 Dum- barton Road, Patrick, Glasgow, when told that he had won over $65,000 in Murphy's penny points pool. Mr. Campbell, a married man with two children, works as a machinist in Glasgow. "Whan I can bring myself to think properly," said Mr. Campbell, "l shall know what to do with the money all right. It's going to mean a new life for us, and an assured future for my kiddies." I Q I I

The time to worry about buyers’ strikes is not when they result from carefully planned publicity but when customers begin staying away from stores in droves because of lack_ of mer- chant advertising, says American Business. A so-collod buyers’ strike which begins with a parade, carefully painted banners, professional publicity releases, news cameraman at the right places, just is not sincere. lt is an attempt by some group to promote itself, its membership, or its following in the community, as happened in Alberta and Soc‘ ‘ hewan in attempting to boycott the consumer. i I i I It was revealed at a recent meeting of the Edinburgh Presbytery of the Church of Scat- hnd that the anonymous gift of over $800,000, announced last month, had been given to three committees of the Church to make provision for retiring ministers and church sisters. These are the Aged and infirm Ministers‘ Fund Com- mittee, the Foreign Missions Coinmittee. flflll the Women's Home Mission Committee. In giv- ing this information Mr. A. J. Rose, convener ‘of the Aged and lnfirm Ministers’ Fund Com- mittee, said that there were _ministers who-con- tinued long after their efficiency was impaired because they could not afford to retire on the totally inadequate annuity of $750 ll Vi" ml‘ gic for the ministers, but it was even more so for their congregations. A scheme had been prepared which would make poss|ble_the pay- ment of an additional annuity to retired min- isters. lt was proposed to use both capital and interest and would bridge the gap of time until ministers would qualify t_o receive illt flfilllllllll Insurance retirement pension. The scheme would have to be submitted ta next year's _Genera_l Assembly and would not become operative until the latter part of I947. I I I I

What will the Government do in the face of these three lay-election upsets? asks an Ot- tawo correspondent. Even those who have sup- ported the Government assert that these losses certainly can't be ignored because they indi- cate a growing impatience with Government policies. One shrewd guess mode is fliat soon after his return from New York, Prime Minister Klng will undertake a Cabinet shake-up, with‘ particular attention to Quebec, where the party situation has been seriously Pontiac reverse. It has emphasised the lack of active and oiiporionced party leadership among Quebec Liberals, and the younger element of that party in Quebec are just now in no mood to accept a policy that spells procrastination or a continuance of the Micawber attitude. ‘lt is believed doubtful, however, if any serious thought will he given to a general appeal to the people until after the new session is called at the end of next January. One reason is that, unless the Government wants ts bring on its hood more popular rebukes, there has to be a redistribu- tion" of Hausa seats following the authority from the lrltiah Parliament to increase the House resentetlsa to B! seats and to make the
